Stem Ginger & Oat Crisp-Topped Apples with Caramel Sauce #AppleWeek #Sponsored

This post is sponsored in conjunction with #AppleWeek.
I received complimentary product from sponsor companies to aid in the creation of the #AppleWeek recipes.
All opinions are mine alone.

Well, this year's #AppleWeek may be over, but I still have some recipes to share. When you have an entire parade of amazing sponsors, it definitely takes more than five days of recipes for me to fit them all in. So, you will be getting a few bonus recipes. And, as far as recipes went, two dozen bloggers brought you over ninety recipes to bring apples to your Autumn table. I hope you'll check them out. Also, there is still time to read my introductory post, peruse the prize packages from our event sponsors, and enter the giveaway: here. You won't want to miss out. Really.


I received some gluten-free oat grahams from one of the event sponsors - Nairn's - and loved the stem ginger ones. Well, they were all delicious. But the stem ginger ones needed to be paired with apples in my mind. And the addition of oats makes this dessert feel a little bit more healthy. Sudden inspiration!

Stem Ginger & Oat Crisp-Topped Apples with Caramel Sauce

This crisp was made with delicious apples (thank you, Envy), flavored with vanilla (thank you, Taylor & Colledge), topped with and oat and graham cracker crumble (thank you Flahavan's and Nairn's) and drizzled with caramel sauce (thank you, Torani)! You can add a scoop of vanilla ice cream on side to make it the perfect end to an autumn dinner!


And I loved the kitchen tools from Zyliss that made coring these lovelies a cinch. Gotta love these generous sponsors* who sent the bloggers products to use in their recipe creations.


Ingredients

  • 2 to 3 apples (prefer Envy Apple)
  • 3/4 C rolled oats (prefer Flahavan's)
  • 1/4 C butter, softened + 2 T butter, cold and chopped 
  • 1/2 C flour + 2 T
  • 1/4 C cane sugar (prefer Bob's Red Mill) + 2 T
  • 1/4 C crushed graham crackers (prefer Nairn's)
  • 1 T diced candied ginger
  • 1 t pure vanilla paste (prefer Taylor & Colledge)
  • 2 t ground cinnamon, divided
  • 1/2 t ground ginger
  • caramel sauce for serving (prefer Torani)

Procedure
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Use an apple corer to remove the core from each apple. Slice apples and place them in a bowl along with 2 T flour, 2 T sugar, and 1 t ground cinnamon. Toss to coat completely and turn the apples into a buttered baking dish. Dot the top with 2 T chopped, cold butter.

Place the softened butter, flour, sugar, graham crackers, cinnamon, vanilla, and ginger in a small bowl. Rub the butter into the mixture to create a crumble topping. Stir in the candied ginger pieces.


Spoon the mixture evenly over the apples.

Bake for 45 to 50 minutes or until apples are tender and the crumble topping crisped and brown. Let cool for at least 10  minutes before serving.


Drizzle with caramel sauce and serve immediately with the vanilla ice cream, if desired.

Quick Pickled Red Onions and Radishes

If you've been reading my blog for even a short amount of time, you probably know how much I love to pickle things. I was just telling a friend you can pickle - with vinegar - or you can ferment - with salt - for similar delicious effect. The latter has digestive benefits and I love to do that, but when I need that pop of sour flavor quickly, I whip up quick pickles that are ready in as little as a day or two. I've Pickled Blueberries , Pickled Asparagus , Pickled Cranberries , Pickled Pumpkin , and even Pickled Chard Stems ! This I did last night for an upcoming recipe challenge that requires I include radishes. Ummmm...of course I'm pickling them! Ingredients  makes 1 quart jar radishes, trimmed and sliced organic red onions, peeled and thinly sliced (I used a mandolin slicer) 3/4 C vinegar (I used white distilled vinegar) 3/4 C water 3 T organic granulated sugar 1 T salt (I used some grey sea salt) 6 to 8 grinds of black pepper Proce

Aloo Tiki {Pakistan}

To start off our Pakistani culinary adventure, I started us off with aloo tiki - potato cutlets. I'm always game for tasty street food. I found a couple of different recipes and incorporated those together for this version. Ingredients 6-8 small red potatoes, scrubbed 1 T cumin seeds 1 T fresh chopped parsley 1/2 t ground coriander 1 t minced garlic Procedure Boil the potatoes until they are tender. Drain and let cool. Mash the potatoes. Traditionally they are mashed without their skins. I left the skins on. In a small pan, toast the cumin seeds on high heat until the begin to give off an aroma and begin to darken. Remove from heat and transfer to a plate to keep them from cooking any more. Blend all of the spices into the mashed potatoes, then shape into small patties. If you wet your hands, the potato mixture won't stick to them. Heat a splash of oil in a large, flat-bottom pan. Dip each patty into beaten egg and carefully place in the oil. P

Hot Chocolate Agasajo-Style {Spice It Up!}

photo by D For my Spice It Up! kiddos this week, I was looking for an exotic drink to serve while we learned about saffron. I found a recipe from food historian Maricel Presilla that mimicked traditional Spanish hot chocolate from the 17th century where it was served at lavish receptions called agasajos . When I teach, I don't always get to shoot photos. Thankfully, D grabbed my camera and snapped a few. Ingredients serves 14-16 1 gallon organic whole milk 3 T dried rosebuds - or 2 t rosewater 2 t saffron threads, lightly crushed 3 T ground cinnamon 3 whole tepin chiles, crushed 2 vanilla beans, split lengthwise 1 C organic granulated sugar 1 lb. bittersweet chocolate Procedure In a large soup pot that can hold a gallon plus, combine milk, dried rosebuds (or rosewater, if you are using that), saffron threads, ground cinnamon, chiles, vanilla beans, and sugar and warm over medium heat till it steams. Whisk to dissolve sugar, then lower heat an
